3. the proposed method of construction will reduce erosion potential, landslide and seismic hazard potential, and will improve or not adversely affect the stability of slopes; and 4. the proposal uses construction techniques which minimize disruption of existing topography and natural vegetation; and 5. the proposal is consistent with the purposes and provisions of this Ordinance; and 6. the proposal mitigates all impacts identified in the geotechnical report; and 7. all utilities and access roads or driveways to and within the site be located so as to require the minimum amount of modification to slopes, vegetation or geologically hazardous areas. CONCLUSIONS: The following conclusions are based upon the findings of the geotechnical report prepared by GES, Inc. 1. The proposed development should not adversely im;nact the slope if the recommendations of the geotechnical report are followed. 2. Several borings demonstrate that the slope is composed of glacial till. Three feet below the ground surface, unweathered till consisting of gray, fine- to coarse -grained Silty Sand that was dense to very dense and dry was found. This is considered to be very stable soils under the present conditions present at the site. No seepage or water was noticed. No indication of slope instability was found. 3. The proposed development should not adversely impact the slope if the recommendations of the geotechnical report are followed. 4. The vegetation on the slope will not be disturbed. Any clearing should be limited to the footprint of the house and driveway. 5. The proposal will be consistent with the purpose and provisions of this Ordinance if the applicant complies with all conditions of approval. 6. The foundation and deck are recommended to setback a minimum of ten feet from the top of slope and all run-off from all impervious surfaces are recommended to be collected into a drain system and tightlined into an approved drainage system. These recommendations should mitigate impacts to the slope. 7. There will be no new utilities or roads proposed near the slope.
